Anthony Bourdain says Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is his dream collaborator — here's what he wants them to work on together

In his work as a professional adventurer and overall sampler of
both food and life, Anthony Bourdain has had the chance to work
with a dream list of collaborators.

“The toy box keeps getting
bigger,” he laughs. But despite working with basically every
musician, writer, or cinematographer he wants, there's still one
collaborator Bourdain wants to nail down for a big project: the
Rolling Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards.

“I’d like to make bangers and
mash, and maybe have a meat pie with him,” Bourdain told Business
Insider after speaking at a Capital OneSpark Businessevent.

But his plans are bigger than
that.

“I’d like to revisit the
locations from ‘Exile on Main St.’ and re-experience that wild
year from a slightly more comfortable and less toxic point of
view," he said. “Exile on Main St.,” the iconic 1972 album from
the Rolling Stones, is famous not just for its quality, but for
being partially recorded in France while the band wason the run from British
taxes.

Bourdain has some more esoteric
collaboration ideas for a potential collaboration
with Richards as well.

“I know he’s very interested in
British naval history," Bourdain says. "I’d love to do a show
about that with Keith.”

Whatever the topic, a
collaboration between these two legendary raconteurs would surely
have no problem generating buzz.
